You're thinking like a heavy hitter - but you need to have some patience and build up. People are doing what you've talked about in just a day with well documented and relatively safe systems that are friendly to other MS'ers in the community.
Tashir has great systems, but he's not a steward of the community nor has any respect for the big picture. He copes with this cognitive dissonance by being willing to teach people how to also abuse the systems in place - so he can feel like he is helping while at the same time hurting.
My first soiree into manufactured spending, in retrospect, was so dumb. I was buying Vanilla reloads on point cards - buying points about .8c per point. There are so many ways to do that better and cheaper. At the time, it was the coolest thing in the world.
Business cards get shut down very quickly for unloading the cards in non-intended ways, so be careful with that - although 1000 for 3.95 is way cheaper than $500 for 3.95. A slower play would be to buy 40% of your Simon cards with a 2% card and then 60% with points, effectively generating free points as long as you have cogent liquidation methods.
So with 11 days, you could have a 'free' trip to Hawaii with simply planning and strategy.
Keep reading, keep learning - and don't be a Tashir.
Plus, I only have a couple days left in my Karma creation equation. Then you're on your own with snarky folks.
